Nothing to see here just tech politics in 2025

Dune = Elon ❤️

My fav session at #CPDP25 this far is happening now:

How dystopian sci-fi books have been misread by tech bros and fueled their tech visions of the future

TL;DR

~~tHe cLoUd Is nOT An oPTioN~~

Excited to be at the @algosoc.org conference today and see the cloud taken up seriously — I’ll be moderating a panel with @josévanDijck on computational infrastructures @article19.bsky.social

Desperate attempt by #Whatsapp now that NL is moving their communications to #signal

And update our approach, luckily many researchers are paving the way

See for example the ai now newsletter on industrial policy, @Article19 work on digital markets and infrastructure and research of the programmable infrastructure project in delft

So — how’s your 2025 going?

Bc over here were debating whether to call a spade a spade

This pic is doing the rounds, but just focusing on AWS & Starlink (aka #Bezos and #Musk) as communication platform providers does not even begin to do justice to the power they wield through their companies!

This is about who controls the infrastructure that the economy runs on, coms is a side show

Tech bros: “politicians don’t get tech and shouldn’t meddle”

Dutch political conference on digital: “and the scaling laws as per Kaplan 2020 seem to be breaking”

Apropos of nothing — whether it’s Bing or ChatGPT — #AI remains mainly useful to troll corporate culture.

Early tinkering w Bing: write me God’s corporate memo as per Genesis (from a talk at Greens summit on digital today in Rotterdam)
